Question #24Topic 6
HOTSPOT –
You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.

You plan to create a data collection rule named DCR1 in Azure Monitor.
Which resources can you set as data sources in DCR1, and which resources can you set as destinations in DCR1? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

Correct Answer: 
Box 1: VM1 only –
A virtual machine may have an association to multiple DCRs, and a DCR may have multiple virtual machines associated to it.
In the Resources tab, add the resources (virtual machines, virtual machine scale sets, Arc for servers) that should have the Data Collection Rule applied.
Box 2: Workspace1 only –
On the Destination tab, add one or more destinations for the data source. You can select multiple destinations of same of different types, for instance multiple Log
Analytics workspaces (i.e. “multi-homing”).
Note: The Data Collection Rules (or DCR) improve on a few key areas of data collection from VMs including like better control and scoping of data collection (e.g. collect from a subset of VMs for a single workspace), collect once and send to both Log Analytics and Azure Monitor Metrics, send to multiple workspaces (multi- homing for Linux), improved Windows event filtering, and improved extension management.

Copy the blueprint files to Azure over the Internet.
Ensure that the blueprint files are stored in the archive storage tier.
Ensure that partner access to the blueprint files is secured and temporary.
Prevent user passwords or hashes of passwords from being stored in Azure.
Use unmanaged standard storage for the hard disks of the virtual machines.
Ensure that when users join devices to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), the users use a mobile phone to verify their identity.
Minimize administrative effort whenever possible.
User Requirements –
Contoso identifies the following requirements for users:
Ensure that only users who are part of a group named Pilot can join devices to Azure AD.
Designate a new user named Admin1 as the service admin for the Azure subscription.

What should you create first?
- A. a recovery plan
- B. an Azure Backup Server
- C. a backup policy
- D. a Recovery Services vault
Correct Answer: D
A Recovery Services vault is a logical container that stores the backup data for each protected resource, such as Azure VMs. When the backup job for a protected resource runs, it creates a recovery point inside the Recovery Services vault.
Scenario:
There are three application tiers, each with five virtual machines.
Move all the virtual machines for App1 to Azure.
Ensure that all the virtual machines for App1 are protected by backups.

No network security groups (NSGs) are associated to the network interfaces or the subnets.
Sub1 contains the storage accounts shown in the following table.

Requirements –
Planned Changes –
Contoso plans to implement the following changes:
Create a blob container named container1 and a file share named share1 that will use the Cool storage tier.
Create a storage account named storage5 and configure storage replication for the Blob service.
Create an NSG named NSG1 that will have the custom inbound security rules shown in the following table.

Associate NSG1 to the network interface of VM1.

Create an internal Basic Azure Load Balancer named LB1 and connect the load balancer to VNET1/Subnet1
Enable flow logging for IP traffic from VM5 and retain the flow logs for a period of eight months.
Whenever possible, grant Group4 Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) read-only permissions to the Azure file shares.QuestionYou need to identify which storage account to use for the flow logging of IP traffic from VM5. The solution must meet the retention requirements.
Which storage account should you identify?
- A. storage1
- B. storage2
- C. storage3
- D. storage4
Correct Answer: C
We use the BlobStorage account storage3 for retention.
Storage lifecycle management offers a rule-based policy that you can use to transition blob data to the appropriate access tiers or to expire data at the end of the data lifecycle.
Note: Enable flow logging for IP traffic from VM5 and retain the flow logs for a period of eight months.

Hot Area:

Correct Answer: 
Box 1: Create a virtual network gateway and a local network gateway.
Azure VPN gateway. The VPN gateway service enables you to connect the VNet to the on-premises network through a VPN appliance. For more information, see
Connect an on-premises network to a Microsoft Azure virtual network. The VPN gateway includes the following elements:
✑ Virtual network gateway. A resource that provides a virtual VPN appliance for the VNet. It is responsible for routing traffic from the on-premises network to the
VNet.
✑ Local network gateway. An abstraction of the on-premises VPN appliance. Network traffic from the cloud application to the on-premises network is routed through this gateway.
✑ Connection. The connection has properties that specify the connection type (IPSec) and the key shared with the on-premises VPN appliance to encrypt traffic.
✑ Gateway subnet. The virtual network gateway is held in its own subnet, which is subject to various requirements, described in the Recommendations section below.
Box 2: Configure a site-to-site VPN connection
On premises create a site-to-site connection for the virtual network gateway and the local network gateway.

Scenario: Connect the New York office to VNet1 over the Internet by using an encrypted connection.
Incorrect Answers:
Azure ExpressRoute: Established between your network and Azure, through an ExpressRoute partner. This connection is private. Traffic does not go over the internet.
